mandragoraI'm watching Top of the Pops for the first time in...I don't how long, years, probably. Actually, it's more accurate to say that I can't be bothered to turn over the channel and ToTP is just on.
And I caught one of the latest British boy bands, called Phixx (who have come about as a result of a TV programme called 'Popstars: the Rivals'). So, totally manufactured, like all boybands come to that. But gosh, they're pretty.
The look is post-apocalyptic distressed, all (artfully) spiky hair, artistic tattoos and strategically ripped clothing. Song was called something like 'Hold Onto Me' and featured five (one for each band member, of course) gorgeous female doms adorned with PVC miniskirts, chains and whips.
So, I was quite enjoying the scenery (song was crap, but, really, who cares) when, whoa! Three of the doms ripped off their boys' t-shirts exposing really rather lovely and well-muscled chests. All of the boys were then wrapped in chains, and dragged backwards and chained to the doms' chairs.
All I can say is that the audience appeared to be enjoying it. I was too. Why weren't boybands like that in my day?
Oh yeah, Shane Ritchie (WTF!) has just come on and sung a 'Wham' song. Guess most of the audience are too young to remember the Wham boys singing the original with shuttlecocks stuffed down their shorts... Ah, happy memories.

I had it as well aand dutyfully passed it on to my house mate. Hope you feel better soon!
re: popbands (as you said, bubblegum flavour) and the 'pretty and shiny'
I think there is a general movement - thanks to a raising awareness of the pink audience - towards males as spectacle ~falls on knees and thanks deity of choice~
Now, if only they got back those 70s very tight trousers...

Ah, many thanks for that. I think this horrible thingy, whatever it is, is definitely doing the rounds at present.

Oooh, me too. Of course, pretty boys have always been packaged but normally in the past it was in a very innocuous clean-cut way. Not so much naked flesh on display as now. *cheers loudly*

Mmmm. Thinking of Bodie and Doyle's bums in those trousers...
